Beyond Equality

#2 On Abolishing the Family – and Finding Alternatives

With Sophie Lewis, Eva von Redecker, Eleonora Roldán Mendivil

  • Dialogue
English /  approx. 120 mins.

With “Full Surrogacy Now” and “Abolish the Family”, author Sophie Lewis has recapitulated the history of feminist criticism of the nuclear family. Her vision for the feminist organisation of everyday life is currently being widely discussed: she criticises the idealised concept of the family and advocates collective care work instead. Her lecture at HAU is followed by a discussion with political scientist Eleonora Roldán Mendivil and philosopher Eva von Redecker – a prelude to the HAU festival “Love is a Verb“ (12.–21.4.).
